I'm happy to announce that this weekend my work rec'd 1st Place and an Honorable Mention (both in photography,) in the Lacombe Art Guild Spring Show.

Grebe and Grasses (18x12"), Honorable Mention (photography)

Besides the ribbons and prize money, I rec'd a note from the judge, Lori K. Gordon, about why she made her 1st Place (and Best of Show) choices. Of my piece, she said; "...Foggy Morning very successfully portrays its subject matter as well as conveying a striking mood and sense of place; the technical skill of the photographer was also critical in its selection."

Foggy Morning (30x20"), 1st Place (photography)(Update, Jul. 15, 2011; This photo also took 1st Place [photography] in Slidell Art League's "Cirque du Sol Art" show, as well as a Purchase Award from Slidell Memorial Hospital [who hosted the show.])

Thanks to the Lacombe Art Guild for the hard work and opportunity, to the Louisiana Medical Center and Heart Hospital for providing the space, to Lori K. Gordon for the awards and my fans for their support!

Love the foggy morning shot! I have many foggy morning shots of my own from Arkansas. Lake Cathrine was always rather cold and fog was very common. My pics don't compare to this shot however. The glow is just gorgeous.

Lana how exciting! Your work is outstanding. I particularly like the first one. The combination of the reflection and shadowed images is very striking. Although it is a color photograph it looks black and white. Very nice!
